2 2 “Every man has two countries: his own and France.” Introduction – John F. Kennedy France is paradise for many different reasons. Food lovers Welcome and wine enthusiasts definitely know what we’re talking about, to but also those who prefer to travel with as little clothes as Occitanie possible know that France is still a top naturist destination in the world.
If we wanted to write a guide about all naturist options in the country, we would end up with a pill of probably more than a thousand pages. Since we’re not Tolstoy, we decided to create different guides per region.
In this guide we will discover Occitanie, home to the famous naturist villages Cap d’Agde and Leucate and to numerous wonderful nude beaches, naturist campings and B&Bs.
Welcome to Occitanie!
